Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

The big ear elephant has a long legacy of films going all the way back to 1941 so you can bet that this was on the top of Disney’s list to create into live-action. Disney has been on a bit of a run with their live-action movies, creating a Jungle Book live-action movie already and already creating a Lion King version as well. With Tim Burton attached to this circus of a movie, it should be a fun watch for the whole family.
